The Portland Timbers acquired forward Mike Fucito from Montreal, the team announced Friday afternoon.

The Timbers acquired the 5-foot-9 Fucito in exchange for a conditional - based on Fucito's performance in 2012 - pick that would be either the Timbers' highest second-round pick in 2013 MLS SuperDraft or an international roster slot that would expire on Dec. 31, 2013.

Fucito, 26, appeared in the expansion Impact's inaugural and season-opening game, playing 26 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the team's 2-0 loss to Vancouver March 10. The Seattle Sounders traded Fucito - along with forward Lamar Neagle - to the Impact in exchange for Eddie Johnson Feb. 17.

Fucito, selected in the fourth round of the 2009 SuperDraft, played his first two seasons with the Sounders. He made 19 appearances - 13 starts - during the 2011 season and 23 appearances during his time with the Sounders.

The announcement of Fucito came roughly 90 minutes before Timbers forward Eddie Johnson announced his retirement. Johnson was one of the first four Timbers (Steve Cronin, Bright Dike and Ryan Pore) signed to MLS contracts in October 2010.

While the move was made partly in response to Johnson's retirement, Fucito's arrival is also likely a signal of the team's growing dissatisfaction with Jorge Perlaza, who has struggled this season. The Colombian has yet to score and has failed to convert very makeable scoring chances this season.
